Chakalte’, Relief with Enthroned Ruler (Maya)
[Beth] We're here in the Maya Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art looking at a lintel of carved stone that would have been the horizontal piece over a doorway.발음듣기
[James] The sculptor who carved this actually carved the underside of the lintel to be seen as you enter the temple or palace.발음듣기
You would have to look up and the sculpture is carved in such low relief that you probably would have had to use a torchlight in order to make the figures appear.발음듣기
[James] No, the Maya palaces are very restricted in access by different patios and courtyards and staircases.발음듣기
[James] In the hieroglyphs above his head he's named as Chel Te' Chan K'inich otherwise known as Shield Jaguar IV.발음듣기
[James] Shield Jaguar IV was the last ruler to erect a lot of monuments in the area around Yaxchilan.발음듣기
[James] This lintel probably comes from a site we know as La Pasadita which is across the river from Yaxchilan in modern day Guatemala.발음듣기
The central figure handing gifts to the king is known as Tiloom, an important subsidiary Lord in the Yaxchilan kingdom.발음듣기
[Beth] In his left hand he is offering a fabulous headdress decorated with Quetzal feathers, with Jade, this very precious stone and in his right hand likely some food or perhaps some incense.발음듣기
[James] These are typical gifts in scenes of tribute from these local Lords to their over Lords.발음듣기
[James] He's very important and that's made clear by the artist in his central position in the composition but also in his posture and size.발음듣기
[James] The garment that he's wearing is very high quality and you see this in Yaxchilan courts that the most important people wore this type of brocaded woven garment.발음듣기
[James] He's not named in the hieroglyphic text but he holds a fan composed of Quetzal feathers.발음듣기
[Beth] This is such an unusual relief because so much of the pigment survives giving us a good idea of how brightly painted these relief sculptures were.발음듣기
[James] The red orange pigment is iron based and the blue pigment is composed of indigo dye, mixed with minerals.발음듣기
[Beth] That blueish green was an important color just like jade was an important stone for the Maya.발음듣기
[James] Blue green was associated with jade but also with water, and with agricultural fertility.발음듣기
He's probably addressing or thanking the party in front of him for the gifts that they are bringing.발음듣기
[James] We often see Maya Lords surrounding themselves with tribute goods that often included foods like fruit or beans, even alcoholic beverages.발음듣기
[Beth] There's something else that makes this particular carving so special and that's that we know the name of the artist.발음듣기
[James] The only culture in the ancient Americas in which artists signed their works was the classic Maya and this particular lintel was signed by its sculptor.발음듣기
His name was Chakalte' and he made at least three or four monuments during the reigns of Bird Jaguar IV, and Shield Jaguar IV at Yaxchilan.발음듣기
[James] Absolutely, and the hypothesis would be that Shield Jaguar sent Chakalte' across the river to La Pisidia to have Tiloom project himself onto the lintel of a building they were constructing.발음듣기
[James] The large necklace that he's wearing is known as a bar pectoral which is a horizontal long tubular bead made of jade and the nose ring is also probably a jade tube that is attached to the septum of the king.발음듣기
[James] He is heavily adorned in jade and Quetzal feathers which all share this blue green precious color.발음듣기
